a couple examples... Illinois State and Eastern Illinois had a first round rematch in 2006 and Montana and Cal Poly had a first round rematch in 2005 |

Two things I forgot to mention:
The Bethune-Cookman and Georgia Southern games could possibly be swapped due to geography, if that matters.
We are definitely rooting for SFA to hold off Northwestern State, otherwise SFA takes up a valuable at-large spot probably ahead of UMass. |

| And if they expand the playoff field to 48 teams........DISGUSTING finish to the season once again. I remember last year at this time using the word "underachieving" quite a bit. Sadly, there was no reason to believe this team was going to finish strongly. the Richmond game went badly, and the UNH game at Gillette was a %$#%# horror show!!! Delaware went pretty much as expected and RI just put the nail in the coffin. The "D" started looking like a wet paper bag and the special teams looked more like they belonged in the Special Olympics. (borrowed that quote from our President on his bowling outing). Overall, a sad and frustrating season for the fans, and I should add that I meant those fans who were still there at the end. Future not looking so bright right now. Time to focus on the Patriots. |

Well it looks like Robert Morris may be heading to Bethlehem next Saturday to face Lehigh. At least I may get to see playoff football even if it's not UMass

Pretty bummed that if we could of made one stop against either Richmond or URI in the final minutes we would of had a pretty decent chance of getting a first round bye, nevermind just getting in because 7-4 was a lock as it turns out.

If last year taught me anything it's that we need the CAA North teams. I'm pulling for UNH.

Last year taught me that we made the wrong hire. This year confirmed it.
